Not all children enjoy a full day of summer camp and not all parents want or need their child to be away for a full day of camp everyday. But it is important to keep your child active and healthy during the long summer vacation.
So what exactly are your choices? You can set-up a play date, go to the park or outdoor pool, sit in the house and watch TV, or join the Niles Family Fitness Center for some summer fun. Though the Niles Family Fitness Center does offer full-time summer camp programs, we have taken the time to creatively offer camp programs that meet the needs of parents and their children.
Camptastic is for ages 6-11. Registration is on a weekly basis and you have a choice of five days, three days or one day a week. This camp meets from 9 a.m.to 3 p.m. but extended am and pm times are offered on a daily basis.
Camp Little is for ages two to five. (Children need not be potty trained.) This eight-week camp is offered from one to three days a week from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Lunch N' Fun is an extension of Camp Little and takes place from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. There is an additional fee for this camp and the camper must be potty trained.
Not happy with these choices? We have a few more ideas for you:
